You might want to consider the infuse app. There is a free version, and the pro version costs 10 bucks. It is well worth it though. You can play any format of video, MP4, MKV, AVI, DVIX, and more. And the best part? If you have a NAS, or USB drive connected to your router, you don’t need your mac or PC powered on to stream these videos. I love it, my 14TB library of movies and TV shows stream with no issues. And yes, it is 100 percent accessible. Also, it finds meta data for you so it can give you the year, jonarah, and disscription of the movie or TV show. I give this app a 5 out of 5 stars and 2 thumbs up! Been using it since December and love it! > On Oct 6, 2016, at 11:30 PM, M.
